Skin Peels

Skin peels or otherwise referred to as chemical peels are advanced skin treatments designed to resurface, refine and strengthen overall skin health and integrity. Skin peels work by removing superficial dead skin cells, stimulate cellular renewal and unfold smoother, clearer, more radiant skin.

Skin peels are highly effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns and conditions such as:

– Uneven skin tone & sun damage

– Acne and congestion

– Fine lines & wrinkles

– Dullness & dehydrated skin

– Skin barrier impairment & inflammed skin

Skin peels can be performed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other treatments such as epidermal blading and laser or light-based therapies, to enhance skin penetration and overall results. Mild skin peels work by gently removing the superficial dead skin cells from the outer layers of the skin while supporting and strengthening the skin barrier. More advanced, highly concentrated peels create a deeper resurfacing effect that stimulates the skin’s natural healing response. This process promotes increased collagegn and elastin production, helping to improve overall skin health, texture, and tone while revealing a more refreshed and revitalised complexion.

    Rosacea

    Skin peels can effectively reduce overall inflammation and enhance the skin’s barrier function. By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels promote cell turnover and stimulate the production of new, healthier skin. This process can lead to decreased redness and irritation, contributing to an overall reduction in skin inflammation.

    Additionally, skin peels can help to strengthen the skin’s barrier by improving the overall texture and resilience of the skin. As the barrier function improves, the skin becomes better at retaining moisture, which leads to enhanced hydration levels. Ingredients commonly found in skin peels, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), help to exfoliate the skin while also providing hydrating benefits, thereby supporting a healthier, more balanced complexion.

    Sun damaged and ageing skin

    Peeling treatments for sun-damaged skin focus on several key mechanisms:

    Mild Exfoliation: These treatments facilitate the shedding of dead skin cells from the surface, promoting a smoother texture and brighter complexion.

    Enhanced Barrier Function: They strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, making it more resilient against environmental stressors and reducing sensitivity.

    Increased Hydration: By minimizing transepidermal water loss, these treatments help maintain optimal moisture levels in the skin, counteracting the drying effects of sun exposure.

    Collagen and Elastin Regulation: Peeling treatments stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that promote skin structure, elasticity, and firmness, helping to reduce signs of aging associated with sun damage.

      Skin sensitivity and dehydration

      Skin peeling treatments for sensitive and dehydrated skin focus on various key elements to enhance skin integrity:

      Cell Regeneration: These treatments stimulate the turnover of skin cells, promoting the growth of new, healthy cells which replace damaged or compromised ones. This regeneration helps to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

      Strengthening Skin Barrier: Enhanced cell production contributes to a more resilient skin barrier. A strengthened barrier protects against environmental stressors and reduces transepidermal water loss, which can exacerbate dehydration.

      Increased Hydration: Intensive treatments often incorporate ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides that attract and retain moisture. This not only hydrates the skin but also improves elasticity and softness.

       

      Do skin peels hurt?

      With milder peeling treatments, individuals may experience a mild sunburn-like sensation or slight tingling discomfort during the procedure. More intensive skin peels can produce a stronger feeling of heat and discomfort. To help minimise this sensation, we will continuously fan the skin throughout the treatment until the heat subsides.

      How many treatments do I need before I see results?

      In most cases, multiple treatments of 3 to 6 treatments are recommended to see optimal results. However, you may begin to notice changes in your skin after as little as 1 to 2 treatments.

      Treatments can be done fortnightly when having more mild skin peeling treatments whereas more aggressive peels can be performed in 4 weekly intervals.

      Customer Testimonial

      “I have been having peels at The Cosmetic Refinement Clinic for a number of years. In this time I have had no side effects as a result of the procedures. I now find my skin is so much better than before. The peel has helped to reduce my wrinkles and also corrected my skin tones especially the dark spots that I had previously that I now no longer have to wear heavy makeup to cover them. My skin is now so much smoother and brighter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this procedure to anyone. It is so nice to receive compliments from others on how good my skin now looks.” – Wendy
